SCHOOL GARDENS
School gardens are outdoor classrooms that engage children in learning about where their food comes from and how it's grown, while also introducing students to an expanded variety of fruits and vegetables. These gardens provide a unique opportunity to meet children's immediate nutritional needs through locally-grown, sustainable produce; simultaneously, they get students excited about gardening and cookingâ€”thereby cultivating lifelong healthy habits. School gardens not only provide experiential learning opportunities around the food system (the entire farm-to-plate process), but also allow teachers to integrate academic subjects into environmental education. By linking garden-based learning to the academic curriculum, school gardens can support student achievement in areas such as science, math, reading, and writing. http://eatbettermovemore.org/sa/enact/school/schoolgardens.php
